Diode Laser, Dentinal hypersensitivity, Scanning electron microscopeAbstract
Background and objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of diode laser on sealing ability of dentinal tubules in human extracted teeth with the help of Scanning Electron Microscope Method: Sixty extracted premolars were divided into two groups of 30 each. Coronal portion of all the teeth were sectioned transversely so as to expose the dentin surface and treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, to remove the smear layer. Group A served as the control group whereas Group B specimens were lased with Diode Laser and were observed under Scanning Electron Microscope. Results & Statistical Analysis: Results were obtained from SEM observations & were analysed statistically with the help of ANOVA test. Interpretation, Conclusion & Clinical Relevance: Diode laser is effective in sealing dentinal tubules and may be used in the treatment of dentinal hypersentivity.
